HUNTON DOWN BARN

SELLER INSIGHT

We were initially drawn to Hunton Down Barn for the breathtaking views, the sense of space and the quietness the property affords,” say the current owners of this exquisite modern property with far reaching vistas across farmland. “The balconies from all the bedrooms overlook the rear garden and surrounding fields, while at ground level, terraces wrap around the house so that no matter where the sun is coming from or the wind, there is always a sheltered spot from which to enjoy the great outdoors. In the morning, the sun shines into the kitchen from the east, then follows you around the house throughout the day, right up until the stunning sunset in the west on the terrace.”

“With huge floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the ground floor, the house is always full of light and blissful uninterrupted views,” the owners continue. “This bright and airy feeling is enhanced by the open plan layout of the living spaces: we have the doors open all the time so that we can wander around the whole house as though it were a spacious art gallery. This makes entertaining a breeze, too, with plenty of room for guests to mingle and drift in and out between the house and garden.”

Outside, the gardens serve as an extension of the indoor living and entertaining space, the generous glass panes providing an invisible threshold between house and garden. “The garden slopes down from the terrace to a large lawn area,” the owners say. “We have planted shrubs, trees and hedging whilst maintaining open views over the fields. The garden is a real haven for wildlife, too, with everything from deer and hares to falcons, buzzards and kites regularly visiting us here.”

Another benefit of the property is its eco-credentials. “We have ground source and air source heating as well as solar panels,” say the owners, “and the expansive windows mean we rarely need to turn on the lights, even in wintertime. In addition, we have built a high-tech, fully automated extension which could provide accessible annex accommodation for an elderly relative, so the house is flexible enough to meet future needs.”

Besides the stunning setting and fantastic views, the local area has much to offer in terms of convenience and community. “We are just an hour from London for work or leisure, with everything we need day to day available close by, including two pubs and good schools. The hamlets of Hunton and Wonston together with the nearby village of Sutton Scotney have a lovely sense of community, too. Hunton is located with easy access to Winchester city centre and arterial road links to the A34 and M3, whilst enjoying all the peace and quiet of country life.”*
